Chapter 57: Lost Memories: The Reason for Being Hated Was Found (End)

The three tomoe in his eyes flashed, and a simple Genjutsu hypnotized the unprepared girl. Looking at the unconscious girl, Uchiha Gin's tired eyes were full of apologies.

Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Tian Dao stood side by side on the ruins. Their scarlet eyes met, and the tomoe in their eyes began to spin rapidly.

Uchiha Gin's three tomoe disappeared into the pupils with the rotation, turning into his unique No-Tomoe Mangekyo, and Uchiha Tian Dao's eyes turned into a windmill-patterned Mangekyo.

【Tsukuyomi】

With the rise of Uchiha Gin's pupil power, a red moon slowly rose, and the blood-red light shrouded the entire Uchiha clan land. The survivors looked up one after another, looking up at the scene that happened suddenly.

Uchiha Tian Dao's eyes widened, and the two windmills in his eyes began to spin at an accelerated speed.

【Kotoamatsukami】

The

As the giant windmill slowly rotated above the red moon, everyone nearby who saw the red moon felt a wave of dizziness; a powerful spiritual force surged into their brains, and a windmill-shaped emblem appeared in their minds.

"Success."

Uchiha Gin struggled to maintain the Tsukuyomi; he had only previously performed the Mangekyo combination technique with the young girl,

and he hadn't expected it to be so compatible with Uchiha Tian Dao. It must be because the two of them, as cousins, had closer bloodlines, which was why the Mangekyo coordination was so seamless.

"What should we call this technique?"

Uchiha Tian Dao looked at the red moon overhead, which was emitting an enchanting glow, and asked aloud.

"Let's call it Limited Tsukuyomi."

Uchiha Gin rubbed his curly hair. Being terrible at naming things, he really couldn't think of a good name. This technique might be his swan song, so this name seemed quite appropriate.

"Whatever makes you happy."

Uchiha Tian Dao glanced at his nephew and nodded slightly.

"Clan Leader, I have a request."

Everyone under the red moon had fallen into the genjutsu, their wills being rewritten—even the young girl, who also possessed a Mangekyo, had not been spared. Looking at the quietly standing girl, Uchiha Gin spoke solemnly.

"Speak."

Hearing Uchiha Gin call him Clan Leader for the first time, Uchiha Tian Dao knew that the request his nephew was about to make was extremely important.

"When the technique ends, I hope to transplant my eyes to Xiao Guang. My body..."

Uchiha Gin brought up the old matter again. Having experienced the exhaustion of his ocular power, he had felt the fear brought by blindness.

Earlier, during his rampage, his Mangekyo had overdrawn a massive amount of his body's life force. Now, Uchiha Gin's body had been irreversibly damaged; his eyes might never be usable again, and he might even be cut off from chakra.

It would be perfect to give them away so Xiao Guang could achieve the Eternal Mangekyo; perhaps she could even protect him in the future so he wouldn't be bullied by that brat Madara.

Uchiha Tian Dao did not speak, but nodded slightly at him. Just moments ago, Uchiha Miao had already revealed Uchiha Gin's physical condition to him.

At this moment, Uchiha Gin was like a candle in the wind; whether he could survive afterward was a question.

Everyone within the clan grounds and those who had just rushed back were bathed in the red moonlight.

In a corner far away, an old man stood with a ferocious expression, frozen in a daze; it was clear he had also been caught in the Limited Tsukuyomi.

After an unknown amount of time, the full moon in the sky slowly dissipated into the black night sky. Amidst the ruins, Uchiha Gin smiled and gave Uchiha Tian Dao a thumbs-up.

Before Uchiha Tian Dao could say anything, Uchiha Gin's expression suddenly changed. Countless amounts of blood sprayed from his eyes, mouth, and nose. His frail body, bathed in blood, fell backward just like that.

"Gin!"

Uchiha Tian Dao was quick-witted and agile; he flashed over to catch him. Reaching out and feeling Uchiha Gin's faint heartbeat, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

The people who had been caught in the Kotoamatsukami version of the Limited Tsukuyomi woke up one after another. Seeing the devastated clan grounds, the surviving clansmen were all filled with grief, cursing the enemies who had ambushed the clan grounds, but no one mentioned Uchiha Gin again.

The wills of everyone in the clan grounds had been rewritten. In their current perception, the culprit who destroyed the clan grounds was not Uchiha Gin, but a group of mysterious enemies.

They only knew that the Clan Leader's residence and several important locations had been attacked, the Clan Leader's wife and several children had been killed by the enemy, and more than half of the clan grounds had been razed to the ground, with the number of survivors unknown.

Uchiha Miao and Uchiha Yan, who had also awakened, saw Uchiha Tian Dao holding the blood-covered Uchiha Gin and flew over to check on him.

"Clan Leader, Uchiha Gin's condition is not optimistic."

Uchiha Miao, who was proficient in human anatomy, saw at a glance that Uchiha Gin was at the end of his rope; if he wasn't treated, he would likely return to the afterlife.

"I'll go pursue those despicable guys right now!"

Uchiha Yan was more concerned about the enemy's whereabouts, his slightly red eyes searching the surroundings for traces of the attackers.

These two had not been spared from the Limited Tsukuyomi either; their memories were no different from the ordinary clansmen, except for the added memory of rushing over with the Clan Leader and discovering Uchiha Gin, who had fallen in the ruins covered in blood.

"No need, Uchiha Gin has already wiped out all the enemies."

Uchiha Tian Dao, holding Uchiha Gin, said something shocking.

"How is that possible?"

Uchiha Yan was greatly shocked. In his perception, Uchiha Gin was an annoying brat who was usually good-for-nothing and hadn't even awakened his Sharingan.

"Under the enemy's provocation, Uchiha Gin awakened the legendary eyes."

Uchiha Tian Dao, who had already prepared his wording, bluffed without blushing or skipping a beat.

"But this kid seems to have overdrawn the power of his eyes. Let's go check on him first."

He handed the Uchiha Gin in his arms to Uchiha Miao and turned to give orders:

"Elder Yan, go collect the enemies' corpses and see what kind of background they have."

"Eh? Why is Wuming here too?"

Uchiha Miao, who was checking Uchiha Gin's body, saw the young girl who had fainted to the side and asked in confusion.

"I brought her. The scene was probably too tragic and stimulating; she couldn't take it and fainted."

In the perception of others, the young girl had become a test subject for the research institute because she had awakened the special ability of the Sharingan.

"Then I'll take her back too."

Carrying one was carrying, carrying two was also carrying. Uchiha Miao shouldered both of them and ran toward the research institute.

"Ah? Where is my huge research institute? How could it just be gone?"

Uchiha Miao, dumbfounded, looked at the research institute that had also been razed to the ground before him and let out an unbelievable wail.

With the evaporation of the research institute, all of Uchiha Gin's data also disappeared from this world; no one could ever prove what an outstanding youth he had once been.

At this time, in everyone's rewritten memories, there was more or less a subconscious feeling of disgust toward Uchiha Gin.

This was Uchiha Gin's own request. Even if the clansmen forgot his sins, he still couldn't forgive himself and wanted to use this method to whip himself.

Only children born after the clan grounds were attacked would have no prejudice against Uchiha Gin.

In a dark corner, the ferocious-looking Uchiha Yao also woke up. He looked around in confusion, feeling only chaos in his brain.

Before any memories could be inserted into his mind, he suddenly felt a soreness in one eye. His scarlet eye slowly became gray and white, and at the same time, a large segment of memory began to play in reverse.

"Hoo hoo hoo~, I almost fell for Uchiha Tian Dao's trick."

The old man, covered in cold sweat, touched his eye that had lost its light and said with hatred.

【Izanagi】

The forbidden technique known as Izanagi could turn unfavorable events that occurred within a period of time into something that never happened.

It only chose to make things favorable to oneself a reality. The duration of activation varied according to each person's ability, but the Sharingan used for the technique would go blind.

The cautious Uchiha Yao, the moment he saw the red moon rise, had transcribed Izanagi into his eye. If attacked by other techniques, Izanagi would automatically release to negate the negative effects of the technique.

Now, there was one more person in this world who knew the truth.

"Kaguya Wangliang, let's go."

Uchiha Tian Dao activated his Mangekyo. With only one eye, he certainly wasn't his opponent. He gently stroked the Sharingan in the jar in his arms.

These two eyes recorded the cruel scenes of Uchiha Tian Dao plotting against his son; every time he viewed them, he couldn't sleep at night, and his hatred grew stronger.

The shadow clone named Kaguya Wangliang followed behind the old man, a hint of gloom flashing in its dull eyes.

"The few pairs of Mangekyo that appeared this time were actually none of them."

Inside the only remaining medical station in the clan grounds.

"Clan Leader, Uchiha Gin's body is overdrawn too severely. The cells throughout his body are nearing collapse. The backlash from the Sharingan's ocular technique has eroded his body until it is riddled with holes. If measures aren't taken, he might not live past tonight."

Uchiha Miao, having taken off his mask, said with a worried face.

"Transplant his eyes to Wuming."

Uchiha Tian Dao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Keeping the Mangekyo Sharingan on him now is just a burden. Afterward, replace them with ordinary eyes to lighten his load a bit."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Miao immediately took the order. In his perception, the research institute originally only had Wuming's pair of Mangekyo; he hadn't expected that the usually annoying Uchiha Gin had also awakened them, but it was a pity they were scrapped right after awakening.

"Serves him right, who told him to..."

Uchiha Miao, who was subconsciously complaining, suddenly stopped. He frowned and began to ponder: when had Uchiha Gin ever provoked him?

Was it yesterday or last month?

"Yan, go help me find a pair of ordinary human eyes."

Unable to figure out why he hated Uchiha Gin even after racking his brains, he could only work first. The research institute had been destroyed earlier, and all the experimental materials had been ruined. Various organs still needed to be collected again, and his workload had increased again.

The round Uchiha Yan received the order and prepared to go to the prison to find a lucky person. When passing by the morgue, he stopped. Remembering the enemy corpses he had just collected, he felt he didn't need to make an extra trip.

He randomly lifted a sheet and saw that the eyes of a male corpse with a terrified expression were still intact.

Uchiha Yan wasn't picky either; he gouged out the eyes of the man who had a large hole in his chest, threw them into the nutrient solution, and went to report back to Uchiha Miao.

Uchiha Gin, who was in a coma, underwent the eye-replacement surgery. The removed eyes were soaked in nutrient solution, and with his new eyes, his face wrapped in bandages, he lay on the bed unconscious.

"Clan Leader, I'll go transplant the eyes for Wuming first."

Uchiha Miao, holding Uchiha Gin's eyes, excused himself first.

"Gin, is doing this really worth it?"

Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had tortured himself until he was in tatters, Uchiha Tian Dao said with a bit of heartache.

"Cough, cough... this is all pain I should bear."

Uchiha Gin, who had woken up at some point, answered weakly.

"Do you have any other requests?"

Unable to bear seeing his nephew in such pain, Uchiha Tian Dao asked in a bitter tone.

"If possible, seal my memories too. I can no longer face others as I am now."

Uchiha Gin's tone carried a hint of loneliness. Now, everyone in the whole world had forgotten his past, and his former relatives and friends were now like strangers.

"Okay, I promise you."

Uchiha Tian Dao said, placing his hand on Uchiha Gin's head, a windmill-shaped Mangekyo appearing in his eyes.

He poured his ocular power into Uchiha Gin's brain all at once, sealing all his memories, and incidentally rewriting his blank memories to be the same as everyone else's.

"Hoo~"

After finishing this, Uchiha Tian Dao closed his eyes, panting. Having used the power of the Mangekyo twice in a row, his body began to suffer from the backlash.

Feeling the cessation of the fetal movement in his eyes, Uchiha Tian Dao knew that his Mangekyo had entered a cooldown phase, but he didn't know how long this time would be.

On the other side, Uchiha Miao took advantage of the fact that Uchiha Guang was still in a coma to perform the transplant surgery for her. After finishing, he pushed the young girl into the ward to wait for her to wake up.

"Woo~~~"

Fluttering her long eyelashes a few times, the young girl who had been in a coma for a whole day finally woke up. Feeling the unprecedented comfort in her eyes, the girl's heart tightened, and she picked up the small mirror by the bed to examine her eyes.

Activating her own Mangekyo Sharingan, the girl felt a familiar power from the slightly changed patterns. Looking at the black dot that had appeared in the middle of her patterns, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Wuming, are you adapting to the eyes?"

Uchiha Miao, who pushed the door open with a report in his hand, asked. However, seeing the patterns in the eyes of the girl who turned her head, he said excitedly,

"It seems it was a success!"

"Where is Gin?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, the girl got up and stared straight at Uchiha Miao, asking.

"What are you talking about?"

Uchiha Miao, whose memory had been rewritten, asked with a frown. In his memory, Uchiha Gin and Wuming had no intersection.

"Take me to see him!"

The young girl, whose eyes exuded terrifying pressure, spoke again. Feeling a pressure he had never felt before, Uchiha Miao surrendered immediately and took the girl to the door of a ward.

"The Clan Leader is inside, mind your manners."

Uchiha Miao reminded this young girl who had suddenly become terrifying, fearing that she would clash with the Clan Leader.

"I'll go in by myself."

Ignoring Uchiha Miao's words, the girl pushed the door open and walked in.

What met her eyes was the familiar Uchiha Gin lying on the bed. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with a smile on his lips, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful.

Standing by the bed was Uchiha Tian Dao. At this moment, the Clan Leader appeared somewhat weak, constantly rubbing his eyes.

"Clan Leader, how is Gin?"

The girl asked carefully, without the slightest bit of the overbearing attitude she had just shown toward Uchiha Miao.

"Wuming? Why are you here?"

Uchiha Tian Dao, whose eyes were a bit blurry, saw that the person who came was actually the young girl who had a very good relationship with Uchiha Gin, but she should have also been caught in the Limited Tsukuyomi.

"I still remember! I still remember everything!"

The girl said somewhat incoherently. She knew Uchiha Gin and the Clan Leader's plan, and before fainting, she was terrified that she would forget about Gin when she woke up.

But from the current situation, she was immune to the influence of the Limited Tsukuyomi.

Uchiha Tian Dao frowned. He was very confident in his ability; as long as someone was hit by his Kotoamatsukami, they would be influenced, unless...

Uchiha Tian Dao looked at the girl's eyes and found that the patterns of her Mangekyo had changed slightly. He asked with emotion,

"You successfully transplanted Gin's eyes?"

"Yes, Gin's eyes have already merged into my body."

The girl touched her eyes and said sadly.

Uchiha Tian Dao then remembered Uchiha Yao's plan regarding the war weapon.

It had indeed been written at the end that when Uchiha Gin and their two pairs of Sharingan merged, a pair of unrestricted Mangekyo would be born, which would not be limited by ocular power, and vision would not be affected.

It seemed that after the girl merged with Gin's Mangekyo, her level was much higher than his own Mangekyo, which could explain why the girl was able to be immune to his Kotoamatsukami.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tian Dao shook his head and said,

"I am glad you haven't forgotten about Gin, but..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Uchiha Gin, who was sleeping.

"Gin's memories have been sealed by me. Now he can no longer remember you."

Uchiha Tian Dao, having finished explaining, felt a bit of melancholy. Uchiha Gin thought the world had forgotten him, but he hadn't expected that his most important person hadn't forgotten him, yet he had already chosen to forget everyone else.

What a cheesy plot; are they filming a Korean drama?

If Uchiha Gin heard that the girl actually still remembered him, he would probably slap himself awake even in his sleep.

Why are you acting so cool, insisting on cosplaying Naruto's childhood plight?

"Why!?"

Lying on Uchiha Gin's bedside, the girl wept bitterly.

"Perhaps it is because he loves this clan so deeply."

Uchiha Tian Dao said with a sigh.

Uchiha Gin, who possessed the legendary eyes, could have chosen to eliminate all dissenting voices and cover up the truth to become a hero after destroying most of the clan grounds, but he chose the most difficult path.

The power of the Uchiha clan came from the eyes, and the key to opening the eyes was emotion. The outside world's prejudice against the Uchiha was that they were cold and heartless.

The truth, however, was that a heartless Uchiha would find it difficult to open the Sharingan for their entire life.

Those who opened the Sharingan were basically clansmen who possessed great love and great hatred. The reason Uchiha Gin was able to open the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan at a young age was all because his love for his home and his clan was too deep.

"Please let me become a weapon!"

Uchiha Guang, who wiped away her tears, raised her head and said with determination,

"Let me carry Gin's eyes and continue to protect this clan he loved so deeply."

Several years later, the young girl who fought everywhere for the clan was ambushed and sealed by the enemy, and her whereabouts remained unknown since then.

Uchiha Tian Dao, settling scores after the autumn, used thunderous means to capture the culprit who caused Uchiha Gin and the other to lose control, Uchiha Yao, and imprisoned him in Dungeon No. 0.

The data regarding the weapon plan found in his home was also secretly sealed by Uchiha Tian Dao.
